They were cool but my god the showrunners can't do politics for shit.
TLA: There's one bad guy, he's evil because he's evil. He has a daughter who's also evil because she's crazy.
LOK: Ok, time to tell more mature stories.
Who's the first villain? Communism! Except:
The equalist movement picks up an enormous amount of steam basically overnight: their problems with benders dominating society are valid and recognized at large
Its pure Great Man Theory that only the charismatic ideologue is able to lead the movement
The moment the leader is recognized as lying about being a bender the movement collapses instantly. Guess their issues with how society is structured weren't that valid?
Special feature: the eccentric self-made capitalist-inventor
Then we get the second villain, environmentalism!
Except the environmentalist is also a conqueror intending to oppress people
And he's doing it in order to dominate the world by doing superpowered mass-scale ecoterrorism
Remember the eccentric capitalist? He's back as a war profiteer and it's played for laughs
Who's the third villain? Anarchists!
They don't have a cohesive ideology beyond "rulers bad"
They kill a monarch (cool) and then tell the world's largest civilization to idk figure itself out and peace out
And the last villain? Fascism.
The fascist is shown to be correct on the details constantly
Her campaign of brutal conquest is successful at unifying the kingdom the anarchists broke apart
She builds a superweapon which ends up changing the world for the better
The war profiteering capitalist has zero problems with helping the fascists until his own life is threatened
Unlike every other villain in the show, the Avatar shows her active empathy and compassion
I think the showrunners got that terminal :LIB: brain
I just read on the wiki that Canada won't resettle Tamil Tigers because they "participated in crimes against humanity" and I started guffawing in "what about the fucking mounties and the Ukrainian SS you toolbags"

Haven't read it, but I'm pretty sure there's a comic after the show that rehabilitates Kuvira.
Liberals and rehabilitating fascists. Name a more common duo.
liberals and being fascists

All the comics sucks ass and the Korra ones are specially horrible.
